The Schwarzach River is dammed here to form the Eixendorf Reservoir. The fore-dam was necessary because the Schwarzach River's shallow depth would otherwise have caused excessive silt and unpleasant odors to accumulate. A shady bench with a view of the Schwarzach and the fore-dam is provided.

This is a beautiful section of the Schwarzachtal Cycle Route! The trail leads through rocky outcrops and idyllic natural scenery. Along with the section west of the reservoir, this section is arguably one of the most beautiful on the Schwarzachtal Cycle Route! Photo stops are a must here.
